In a previous post, I had suggested three viewpoints. I left out the viewpoint of two new covenants (one for Israel and a separate one for the Church) since no one at the Council voiced that opinion. However, if I were to include that view within the various options, I came up with this outline as one of many possible outlines for discussing the options:<\/p>\n<h6>Dispensational Views on the Interpretation of the New Covenant<\/h6>\n<p>1. The Church has no relationship to Israel&#8217;s new covenant<br \/>\n(1a) Only one new covenant for Israel which is to be ratified and begin fulfillment at the start of the millennium<br \/>\n(1b) Two new covenants &#8212; the Church has its own covenant without having a relationship to Israel&#8217;s covenant.<\/p>\n<p>2. The Church has a relationship to Israel&#8217;s new covenant<br \/>\n(2a) Indirect &#8212; not as legal participants but receiving blessings due to union with Christ<br \/>\n(2b) Direct &#8212; as legal participants in the new covenant promised to Israel as God expands his promise<\/p>\n<p>I would not mind some feedback on this outline. Also, I would like to know if there are any dispensational scholars who hold to two new covenants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been mulling over the various viewpoints of the new covenant within dispensationalism since the discussion of that topic at last September&#8217;s Council on Dispensational Hermeneutics.
